Honda Civic Type R (FK8) Clutch & Drivetrain FAQ's

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

When should FK8 owners consider a clutch upgrade?

If torque is raised with tuning or you experience slip in higher gears, it’s time. Pair the clutch with a quality flywheel and fresh release components for the FK8.

Do stiffer engine or trans mounts help the FK8 put power down?

Yes—stiffer mounts and shifter bushings cut drivetrain movement, improving FK8 shift precision and reducing wheel hop under hard launches.

What differential upgrades benefit the FK8 on track?

The FK8’s factory LSD is capable, but upgraded final drive gears or differential internals can sharpen corner exit and temperature stability in endurance use.
